This third edition of Westward Milestone has been widely lauded as a Best of 2025. I certainly do love it, though frankly some of that year’s Westward Club Releases I loved even more. But this unique single malt certainly does warm a chilly day. Cheers! This cask strength Ben Nevis is a sherry bomb. Proper notes to come—mmmaybe. I’ve developed a bit of sherry fatigue, so, might not be fair to assess it. I’ll see how it airs out and circle back… Cheers! New notes on a BALLECHIN 11 YEAR CASK STRENGTH SINGLE CASK. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on this smoky caramel rascal of a peated whisky, just in time for Burns Night. Sláinte!
